It is often The case that more planets are researched and understand, the more the ability to live away from them. MarsFor example, the body is closest to the Earth in terms of distance, but the data shows that its conditions are extremely hostile to life.
Even so, NASA has a plan Send astronauts to the red planet, and Elon Musk is A proposal Establish human presence there. In the short term, the solution for Mars invasion is the construction of a special living environment. But in the long run, some have proposed a more ambitious strategy. Spatial colonial enthusiasts propose to Mars space, that is, the planet transforms to get the same characteristics as the earth.
Scientists accept that any proposal for the Terraforming fire for decades, although the calculations have been conducted to evaluate how this Titanic process can work. Leszek Czechcowski, a professor at the Geophysical Institute of the Polish Academy of Science propose How to convert rust -colored planet into a place where humans can walk without a kit. To achieve this, the researcher asked to bombard it with asteroids from remote solar systems.
Mars is a desert planet, without oxygen and with a thin atmosphere that prevents the accumulation of liquid water on its surface. There are no characteristics of these will be changed without the atmospheric pressure that is not resolved in advance. If a person is not protected on the surface of Mars, they will not die from choking or freezing, but because their blood will boil almost immediately due to lack of atmosphere.
On Earth, the atmospheric pressure is due to the total amount of gas contained in its dense atmosphere. Here, in sea level, the pressure is equivalent to 101,325 pascal; On Mars, it only reaches 600 pascal, less than 1 percent of the earth's pressure. Therefore, in order to start terrorism, scientists must first thicken the atmosphere of Mars. Other major challenges, such as harsh temperatures, protected from solar radiation and the presence of water, will then be resolved in the next stages.
Every scientist discovers the appearance of Mars to make the same conclusion: simply not have enough materials on the planet to change its atmosphere, and any effort in transporting the elements there represents an unprecedented energy spending.
The Czech solution for this problem is to bombard the planet by asteroids. According to his proposal, a large asteroid will be released directly at Hellas Planitia, a crater in a great impact in the southern hemisphere of Mars. According to this theory, the impact of a large asteroid, containing the essential elements for the planet's residence, will make the Mars heat up while also thickening its atmosphere.
But this cannot be just any asteroid, it must be one with rich water and nitrogen. That immediately excluded anything from the asteroid belt of the solar system, between Jupiter and Mars. Instead, any large rock needs to come from the Kuiper belt, a plate of material surrounding the outer solar system and have all the frozen and original water.
